The $36 million cut proposed for pharmacies in Governor Cuomo's Medicaid budget would result in a reimbursement cost basis of WAC minus 9% for fee-for-service brand name Rxs. This cut is much deeper than last year's.

Even before this unprecedented and devastating cut, New York State's Medicaid program provides our pharmacies with the LOWEST REIMBURSEMENTS IN THE COUNTRY; a result many years of decreases

NYS DOH officials improperly used results from the flawed 2012 AAC surveys to justify their proposed cut. Last year, NY state legislators passed a law ruling out use of that survey.

Under a directive from last year's NYS budget, PSSNY and other Pharmacy groups met with DOH officials to work on a new "adequate" reimbursement policy. At our November meeting, DOH expressed that fee-for-service Medicaid would remain unchanged. We were totally blind-sided by this new budget proposal of WAC minus 9% for brand name drugs.
